It seems that my whole world is upside down! I got back from a great weekend down the Eyre and spent the week at work being a goood kid and now I'm out in the country again. This time its with the other family! The kids and I have just come back from dancing up a storm at the pub and having a great time! Mind you it looked like we weren't going to make it at one stage!
We had car troubles from the start, and with the amazing rain we have been having the roads were slippery to start with! We got nearly outside of town when it all started, the wind screen wiper on the driver side stopped working, and we were right at the beginning of the freeway! So we had to pull over and fix it! So I, wearing my 'this is what a feminist looks like' t-shirt is under the hood with a car full of people waiting to go.
We had to pull over several times before we had reached the edge of the city limits. One of those times we had found a stable that opened onto the road and pulled into that to fix it. In the end it was when we had pulled into a truck stop and a nice guy from Beaurepairs (spelling?) helped us by taking off the loverly wiper and replacing it with the other one. Thanks a lot mate!
After a few hours driving, going the wrong way, detouring etc. We finally made it! Yay! 15 mins before the kitchen closed at the pub. So I got my birthday dinner after all! Now it's nearly one in the morning and I'm not in the mood for sleeping but had to leave the pub cos kids can't stay there after 12. Oh well, we only have to get up early in the morning to go to mass any way!
Nite nite all, sweet dreams and all that! Keep your fingers crossed, we have to drive back tomorrow!
